Hi all,
I'm thinking of wall mounting a plug-in ebike charger indoors and feeding the 60V DC cable through to the outside next to the driveway. The tethered cable would be kept dry in a wall-box and I'd lock the bike to a wall loop while charging as it's next to the street. Then I thought, it's only 120W or next to nothing when idle, why not have a poster inviting anyone riding the same brand to help themselves.
The charger's earthed rather than double insulated and only the DC cable would be accessible outside. What precautions would be expected of me to keep the public safe and avoid taking on liability? A dedicated circuit and RCD? Regular testing required?
TIA.
